UK Liberal Democrats declare pro-life Christians incompatible with party’s ‘fundamental values’
The UK's Liberal Democratic Party argued to Liverpool County Court that it had a right to reject the candidacy of journalist David Campanale on the grounds that his Christian views on social issues were incompatible with the party's own positions and would undermine the party. Opponents of legal abortion cannot be candidates for parliament under the banner of the U.K.’s Liberal Democrat Party, the party has declared in documents unearthed in the course of a discrimination suit on behalf of ousted pro-life candidate David Campanale. As previously covered by LifeSiteNews, Campanale, an Anglican and award-winning veteran BBC journalist who said in November 2022 that after he was “overwhelmingly selected” for a Liberal Democrat selection “in a top target parliamentary seat,” he was called to the home of the party’s honorary president and “subjected to a two-hour interrogation about my Christian views,” including on abortion and homosexuality.
